hi,

i've got an ata133/raid pci card which uses the ITE it8212 chipset, and
this is supported by the it821x driver which can support pass through
mode (ie disables raid function) or smart mode (enabled raid function)

i've currently only got one disk attached to this so want to figure out
how to parameters to the kernel on box bootup to force the driver to
use noraid mode.

with a module, i can

modprobe it821x noraid=1

but wondered how i can force this option when i build this into the
kernel -- at the moment i dont use an initrd so i want this built into
the kernel. my current grub options say:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18 ro root=/dev/hda10

thanks
